The nature of work today requires continuous learning and the ability to respond appropriately to new information—including an increasing abundance of data. Companies must ensure that their employees are data fluent—those that do outperform their peers in revenue growth, market share, profitability, customer and employee satisfaction.

Data fluency is the ability to understand data, communicate insights from that data, and use it to solve problems and make more informed decisions. Data fluency includes a spectrum of skills and proficiencies and means having the appropriate level of data skills to work efficiently and effectively based on the different needs of each job role. According to a survey DataCamp conducted with Training Industry of over 300 L&D leaders representing diverse industries, 84% of companies plan to invest in data fluency by 2020.

75% of companies with mature data fluency have seen an increase in individual productivity—while 68% of companies with immature data fluency say they have greater inefficiency in workflows.

Faster path from data to insights and decisions

Many companies struggle with managing their data and focusing on the questions their data should answer. Wouldn’t you like to give every employee the skills and autonomy to ask better questions of data, get clearer insights, and make decisions faster? And ultimately, be able to use your time, resources, and talent more effectively?

“DataCamp has democratized data science learning across our organization. We no longer need to depend on a small number of knowledgeable people to educate others.”—Mark Adamson, Quantitative Analyst, EDF Energy

DataCamp for Business helps companies—from financial institutions and health care firms to management consultancies and governments—equip their workforce with the skills to learn from their data in an efficient and effective manner.

“The key benefit of DataCamp is the flexibility.
